Airbags
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an air bag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
The airbags are designed to help enhance the
safety of occupants in the event of a serious
collision. They complement the action of the
safety belts equipped with force limiters.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i

f there is a violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
in order not to hinder the visibility or the
possible exit of the occupants.
-

i

n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger from the risk of injury to the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal
impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Activation
The airbags are deployed (except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated) in
the event of a severe frontal impact to all or part
of the frontal impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard, to
cushion their forward movement.

"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to
the intermediate longitudinal position, with the
backrest straightened.
The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed .
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat , adjust the
vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal
position with seat backrest straightened and
leave the passenger's front airbag activated.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that this is in firm contact with the floor. If
necessary adjust the passenger seat. Passenger seat adjusted to the intermediate
longitudinal position.
Deactivating the
passenger's front airbag
Never install a rear ward facing child
restraint system on a seat protected by an
active front airbag.
This could cause the death or serious
injury of the child.

facing child seat is installed on the front
passenger seat , the passenger's airbag
must remain activated.
U: Seat suitable for the installation of a
child seat secured using a seat belt and
universally approved, rearward facing
and/or forward facing.
X: Seat not suitable for the installation of a
child seat of the weight group indicated.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.ISOFIX mountings
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The seats shown below are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:
There are three rings for each seat:
-

t
wo rings A , located between the vehicle's
seat backrest and cushion, indicated by a
marking, -

a r
ing B, for fixing the upper strap, called
TOP TETHER and located in the boot.
Its position is indicated by a marking.
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the upper
strap of child seats that have them. This device
limits for ward tipping of the child seat, in the
event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured to the two rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to ring B .

Advice on child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating places, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-

a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he feet of a child seated in a "for ward
facing" child seat.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position. For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, or if possible in contact with it.
You must remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest on
a passenger seat. Ensure that the head
restraint is stored or attached securely to
prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the
head restraint when the child seat is removed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends using a booster seat
with a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a car which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Children in the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front
passenger seat is specific to each country.
Refer to the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rear ward facing" child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
may be seriously injured or killed were the
airbag to be deployed.
